 Think layers and add-ons rather than carrying a number of alternatives and only take one of each item of cycling clothing.

 Take two T-shirts and two sets of underwear and socks, but only one of each item of leisurewear.

 Consider cross-dressing. Meaning choose leisurewear, such as long-sleeved merino T- shirts, that can double as an extra layer for riding and a cycling waterproof that will suffice for chilly evenings.

 Make use of drying facilities to rinse through cycling gear and small items of leisurewear every evening – that’s why you need two sets of some items of leisurewear; one on and one in the wash.

 Carry no more tools and accessories than you would on a day ride and share them between the group.

 Buy travel-sized essentials such as shampoo and toothpaste and give shaving a miss for a week.

 Make do with a smartphone for all your communication and entertainment and leave all other electronics at home.

 Only carry one feed bottle – and replace the other with a storage bottle for tools and small accessories.
